This may not be the fitting forum, but I'd like to know what happens when I mix magnesium ascorbate (Vit C) with iodine in water. It changes form, obviously, but does it still allow both to be fully absorbed & used for it's relevant purpose?

Thank you, appreciate your help!
While we are limited right now in knowing the effect on Vit C, it's mainly that the iodine would still be effective (i.e. against bacteria) that I needed to know; it did not taste as potent, at all, and so I wondered if the anti-microbial effects of iodine may have been negated.

In early medical practice iodine was used for treating surface wounds to the body ... it kills 'bacteria' .... it's now realised the saliva is better ...the instinct to suck or lick a wound is the bodies natural defence system ....

The body is a fine balance and cooperation involving many helpful bacteria which we need to digest food etc. taking iodine internally is not natural , and may lead to all sorts of problems killing off your helpful bacteria ...
